[Grammar] ‘made with’ VS ‘made of’

[northpath]

I don’t remember were I came across a sentence
‘The salad was made with thinly cut raw cabbage.’
Is the preposition ‘with’ OK in this sentence or the preposition ‘of’ is more correct?

Is the preposition ‘with’ OK in this sentence or is the preposition ‘of’[STRIKE] is[/STRIKE] more correct?

'Made of' means cabbage was the only ingredient; 'made with' means cabbage was one of the ingredients.

'Salad' is usually a mixture of at least two ingredients, but in both France and the USA I have been a guest in friends' homes where as part of a meal I was offered what they called 'salad' but was nothing more than undressed lettuce leaves.

It sounds natural enough to me.
